综述了近年来国内外在板块构造研究方面取得的新进展,指出地体构造研究虽然刚开始,但已引起了地学界广泛的注意和极大的兴趣,其研究内容很丰富,包括地体的形态学、运动学和动力学等问题;地体概念是板块构造理论在二十世纪八十年代的最新进展,它对研究地震构造、地震预报、地震工程和地震理论等将有深远影响。 The recent advances in plate tectonics at home and abroad are reviewed. It is pointed out that although the study of tectonic structures has just begun, it has attracted a great deal of attention and great interest from the geoscience community. Its research content is very rich, Morphology, kinematics and dynamics. The concept of terrain is the latest development of plate tectonics theory in the 1980s. It will have a profound impact on the study of seismic structure, earthquake prediction, earthquake engineering and earthquake theory.
